HOW TO PLAY

Read a real data series up to its cut-off, draw the hidden continuation and reveal what actually happened. A round contains five charts, scored across the whole hidden path rather than only its endpoint.

  1. Start a practice set, or choose a captured GuessDash date in Chart set. Read the title, units and both axes. A position can mean a year, an age or a census observation; use the displayed labels.
  2. Use the known curve as a starting point and draw through the shaded observations to the end. You are estimating already recorded data. Redrawing revises a stretch; gaps between marked positions are interpolated.
  3. For keyboard drawing, focus the chart. Left/Right select a position; Up/Down adjust it by 2% of the vertical range, or 10% with Shift. Home/End select the first/last position; press Up/Down to set its value.
  4. Select Reveal when every required hidden position has a value. The actual curve appears over your line with a chart score, average miss, data summary and source. If a save fails, the live line and prior saved record are retained so you can retry.
  5. Compare the whole hidden path. Each chart earns up to 1,000 points from mean absolute error divided by the full vertical range, with a 1% full-score tolerance. Complete five charts for a total out of 5,000 and copy a link to the same chart set.
  6. Choose New practice set for another five-chart deal. Previously dealt series are avoided while fresh ones remain, then review charts are labelled. Use Replay this set to keep the same questions with a separate labelled score; the first result is retained.

Before you play

  • Practice draws from 405 World Bank series across 10 topics and 47 places. Once the collection is used, repeated charts are marked Review.
  • Two original five-chart rounds dated 9 and 11 November 2026 are also available, with separate results.
  • Check the axis labels and units: some charts use age or census labels rather than calendar years.

New practice set deals another round. Reload continues the saved set. Practice results, original rounds and replays stay separate; saves do not transfer to GuessDash or other devices.
